Ridley has been rehabbing from a season-ending knee injury he sustained in the Patriots’ Week 6 game last season against the Buffalo Bills. He was signed to a one-year deal over the offseason after four seasons in New England.

After the transaction, the Jets now have three healthy running backs this week—Ridley, Zac Stacy, and starter Chris Ivory. Bilal Powell has been ruled out with an ankle injury.
